Animal rescue groups help senior pets find a second home in Michigan

A Michigan woman has made it her mission to find new homes for old pets. Jill Bannink-Albrecht's nonprofit focuses on pets whose owners have been diagnosed with a terminal illness or otherwise are unable to care for them. It's a problem that affects aging pets and their owners. Jill Bannink-Albrecht founded the Michigan nonprofit, Tyson's Place after working at a shelter with a 50-percent euthanasia rate. In the three years since opening Tyson's, Bannink-Albrecht has found new owners for several dozen older pets. Tyson's acknowledges that some animals are more challenging than others to find new homes for but it's not impossible.
